I am using Jaspersoft studio to create reports. I am having a sub report in my Jasper main report. The problem is I am unable to make this work, because if I add the sub report into the Detail band of the main report, the sub report get generated number of times, sometimes row by row, sometimes entire sub report repeated in number of pages. I can't put this in Summery Band due to the same reason.
I am unable to put this in Column Footer Band or other footers because it displays the below error
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Subreport overflowed on a band that does not support overflow.

What is wrong with this?
I found out that for my situation, it is best to use Tables instead of subreports. This is what I did.
Detail Band.Now, eventhough I don't need a query for the main report, I must provide one in order the jasper to continue. The query is tricky and problamatic, because if it returned more than one result, the items in the Detail Band will repeat. So, since I need the tables in the Detail Band to be printed only "once", I must restrict the result returned by the main report's query only to one. I did something like below.
SELECT Name FROM Client WHERE idClient=1
Now the items in the detail band will act only once. Since the tables in the detail band contains their own queries, the entire table will be filled with the expected results.
The same method may work for sub reports as well.
